Email In 2020, shopping at a farmers’ market in the Boston area came with an abundance of COVID-19 rules and regulations. Cash was discouraged, masks were necessary, and strict social distancing measures were in place. What a difference a year makes. As Massachusetts continues to reopen, many of the COVID-19 restrictions have disappeared from local markets, instead replaced by reminders to stay home if you feel sick and to try your best to keep a distance from other shoppers. Some places including Brookline Farmers’ Market and Union Square Farmers’ Market are still requiring that all shoppers, regardless of vaccination status, wear a mask. But most have dramatically relaxed their rules for outdoor shopping, instructing visitors to do what feels most comfortable. (Be sure to check with each market for individual regulations, as well as whether they accept SNAP, WIC, and senior vouchers.)
Twitter Facebook Congratulations, everyone. You’ve made it to the end of the semester. Final exams start Tuesday, but before they do, take some time for yourself. In this week’s “Weekender,” we’ve put together a list of events to help you de-stress, get moving, and fuel up for those last-minute papers and exams. Hungry? Take a stroll or bike ride down to the Boston Public Market. With nearly 30 vendors, visitors will find something to satisfy every taste bud: fresh meat and seafood, produce, ice cream, bagels and pastries, and Vietnamese and Moroccan cuisine, all produced locally. The Boston Public Market reopened its outdoor seating in late April for those looking to enjoy their meal there. Or you can choose from among the many breakfast, lunch, and dinner to-go items to enjoy later at home.
Soluna Garden Farmâs herb, spice, and tea blends will kick you out of a flavor rut By Lisa Zwirn Globe Correspondent,Updated April 27, 2021, 2:00 p.m. Email to a Friend Around the World in Ten Spice Blends.Handout Soluna Garden Farm in Winchester grows mostly herbs and flowers. It may be better known, however, for its herb, spice, and tea blends that intrigue both adventurous cooks and tea drinkers and those who typically stick with the tried-and-true. Cofounders Amy Hirschfeld and Tatiana Brainerd explain that ideas and recipes for their spice blends come from research of varied cuisines as well as inspiration from places theyâve visited. They source ingredients from small organic farms worldwide and, says Hirschfeld, pay close attention to suppliers for their commitments to quality and environmental sustainability. Popular blends include Zaâatar, a Middle Eastern mix of sumac, sesame seeds, thyme, and other herbs; Good Stuff!, which will make you think of Thanksgiving stuffing; Smoky Maple Barbeque Rub, tasty on ribs and salmon; and Pseudo-Salt, an all-purpose blend of savory flavors without salt. For something a bit off the beaten path, Ras El Hanout for Coffee is a sweet-spiced version of the traditional Moroccan blend, with nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and more, perfect for sprinkling on coffee or ice cream. Zanzibari Red Curry and Baharat, an Arabian blend, are other combinations that offer sweet, spicy, and savory notes. The duo makes 16 different tea blends, including Honey Blossom, Smoky Vanilla Chai, Ruby Rose, and Turmeric Ginger. The adorably named Roasty Toasty Roots is an âherbal coffee substitute that brews up black as night and is one of my favorites,â says Brainerd. Made with chicory and dandelion roots, cacao nibs, and maple granules, they use the blend to make hot and iced lattes at their Boston Public Market store. In addition to individual jars of herb and spice blends ($8 to $12), teas ($6), and herbal vinegars ($12), Soluna Garden Farm offers Tea of the Month subscriptions (starting at $82 for three months) and its Around the World in Ten Spice Blends ($99) makes a lovely gift for budding cooks. Available at the Boston Public Market, 100 Hanover St., Boston, www.bostonpublicmarket.org, and online at www.solunagardenfarm.com.
